ZFS backup tool

[mir]

FYI.

Tobias Oetiker has just announced this cool backup tool for ZFS. Since it is written in Perl it should run on any platform with ZFS. The tool is open source.

this would appear to be something similar to what SUSE has built for btrfs (snapper), yes?

PS: why do I have to scroll so much on a web page that only has ~10 sentences on it?
/E: yea no its not the screen size, haha

I have no idea. Don't know btrfs in detail and have never used SUSE.

Small screen;-)

Hello again Mir

are you using znapzend with omnios ? if so I've a question.

I've got it installed and configured , this works:

znapzendzetup create  --tsformat='%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S'  SRC '7d=>1h,3w=>1d'  rpool/ROOT/omnios DST  '7d=>1h,3m=>1d'  root@bkup:tank/znapzend/sys4-root/omnios

znapzend  --debug --runonce=rpool/ROOT/omnios

My question - how do I get the command to a cron type job?

 

[mir]

You could put your command into a script which you call from crontab.
